I wake up every single day thinking about the soil that was taken from our people. Hearing your stories in the comments reminds me that this fight is about the survival and dignity of our families. We are not going to let them keep pretending these lands were theirs for the taking.

Seeing this momentum grow feels like the ancestors are finally being heard after all these years. Reading the stories you all share makes me realize I am not fighting this battle alone anymore.
